SPS turning brown

[straydum]

my take on vodka is that it works! if you have patience and time of course.

it took me a few months to finally get my nitrates to stay at 0 however phosphates seem to take longer. vodka didn't seem to lower my phosphate level as effectively as rowaphos or phosban.

there is a thread under the sps section on rc on brown sps revival. so far the general idea is that it either takes a long time to happen or it doesn't at all. however there are a few fine examples there from brown out colonies to drooling gems

hahaha yea i think vodka can work! but then again, the catch on it is the balance. If I am to choose between vodka, zeovit and prodibio, I think I will go with prodibio then zeovit then vodka (:

Yep, so far the general idea is that brown sps will not come back so fast or that well. BUT if you really are patient and provide the best for your sps, I am sure it will return.

I have a friend whose idea on brown/almost dead sps is "So long as it is not dead and the tissue is still there, whether got little polyp extension or not, the sps will always be able to come back alive" so far, I have seen him doing such miracles. lol

You just go RC and search. Plenty of threads on those 2 issue (:

And salt wise, alot of people use Tropic Marin, Instant Ocean, Red Sea Coral Pro and D-D H20. Depends on how deep your pocket can go and buy accordingly. The guideline is once you have affixed a salt on your tank, don't change it (:
